The first-generation Jaguar XE (X760) received a major facelift in 2019. This facelift corrected the main flaw of the initial version: the interior finish quality. The cabin was completely redesigned with more premium materials and the integration (from 2020) of the excellent Pivi Pro infotainment system, replacing the temperamental Touch Pro.

Mechanically, Jaguar streamlined the lineup by dropping the V6 in exclusive favor of the 4-cylinder blocks from the Ingenium family (petrol and diesel). Although its aluminum chassis remains one of the most dynamic in the segment, the XE has suffered from subpar rear passenger space and a reliability reputation tarnished by the difficult early days of the Ingenium engines, even th
The facelifted Jaguar XE is an endearing sedan, offering above-average driving pleasure thanks to its aluminum chassis and sharp steering. The 2019 facelift corrected its finish flaws, making it a true premium alternative. In petrol engines (P250/P300), it proves to be a wise and generally reliable choice, provided you monitor the turbo oil circuit and halve the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations (oil change every 15,000 km maximum). The diesel versions are to be avoided for low-mileage drivers due to chronic DPF and timing chain problems. The steep depreciation makes it an excellent bargain on the used market, but requires a meticulous purchase (complete history and recalls performed).
